Ragnarok Online DS is a game based on the MMORPG Ragnarok Online, and is scheduled to be released sometime in 2008.

GungHo Online Entertainment, Inc., the company that hosts the Japanese server of Ragnarok Online, announced it will expand its business for video game consoles, and Ragnarok is the second of 3 games for Nintendo DS to be released by them, along with Aqua Zone DS and Flower Arrangement DS.

It is currently unknown if the massively multiplayer feature will be kept in the DS version of the game, but it will be able to live chat with other players.

The recently announced title for DS, Ragnarok Online DS, has been confirmed by the developers, GungHo, not to be a MMO. Instead the game will be a standalone Action RPG based on the series. The game will still use the Wi-Fi functions of the DS but, at the moment, exactly how is not known.

    * The game is to be based off the popular Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game from the PC;
    * This edition is set to make full use of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for online play;
    * Wi-Fi will also be used in conjunction with offline promotions and extra downloadable content, hinting that there is an offline mode included as well;
    * There are currently 2.5 million Ragnarok Online accounts in Japan, so the company is expecting the Nintendo DS game to at least reach the 100,000 units mark in its home territory or be deemed a disappointment;
    * GungHo also has plans to bring out some other DS games, such as Aquazon DS and Flower Arrangement DS;
    * GungHo owns various development teams, such as GameArts, Takara and Brocoli, all of which are set to develop new console titles in the near future;
    * There are also titles in the pipeline for the PlayStation Portable.
